Why?
Because goblins like to poke things with pointy sticks almost as much as they like to be kicked by Kingy.
Sometimes the pointy sticks arent so much pointy as the thing clinging to the end of it...
it has sharp pointy teeth... which are like mouth sticks.
But a stick whether simple or fancy is always useful.
You can poke something with it to see if its alive and bitey before losing fingers.
You can wake something up... OR make something go to sleep fast... depending on how you poke them.
You can test the depth of a bog to see if... nevermind... there isnt a stick long enough... better not to get close to The Bog.
And if Kingy isnt watching a stick is useful to pretend is a riding crop if you want to swagger around and kick smaller goblins.

Another collection of pointy things we have scattered about the house.

I use to fence in Montreal
but I must say I am mainly an archer
tho Ive always had knifes and swords about me since the tender age of 5
when I kept stealing my dad's knifes
so he finally caved in and gave me a jack knife

and a larger hawthorne staff!

ME Sept 2006

my friend [Lord Dog]
asked for art reference for wild elf archers
he asked me to model nakkid - but I didnt
a... b/c damn it Im over 30 heavier than I like to be
nakkid doesnt bother me.. but I want to look nice... nice as possible!
b... I didnt want my tits saggin if he is gonna use me as a model for a wild elf!
c... he asked for over the shoulder quiver... and mine is really a hip quiver
so I had to fit it to my bottom as well as my top...
Please be kind! dont actually draw fat elfs!
